Ubuntu came to my attention primary because of the slogan "linux for human beings" and the [[http://www.ubuntu.com/community/ubuntustory/philosophy|philosophy]] behind. In my opinion every human being should have free access to knowledge. Ubuntu is on the path to accomplish this and I want to play a little role in this venture. Maybe, if we all do a little for this world we can change it. Plans for my future contributions to Ubuntu: * Support of German LoCo-Team * User-Support, real-life and via e-mail
